Technical Program Manager, Safety at Bedrock Robotics · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

This is Bedrock's first dedicated Safety Technical Program Manager, a role built to establish the execution structure that lets us roll out new autonomy capabilities quickly without compromising safety rigor. As we scale to new machine types and expanded operational domains, we are evolving our safety practices toward more explicit, strategic execution.
Own planning and strategic execution for the safety and systems portions of the autonomy roadmap, from requirements through validated field deployment.
Support safety requirements being traceable, reusable across platforms and sites, and integrated into roadmaps from inception, partnering with safety and systems engineering on hazard analysis, validation evidence, and release readiness.
Build and maintain the validation plan spanning simulation and on-site testing, ensuring system-level changes are verified before they reach customers.
Map and actively manage dependencies and tradeoffs across systems, hardware, software, state estimation, and safety, weighing safety impact alongside schedule impact and identifying single points of failure on the critical path before they slip.
Drive program reviews, risk, and change management for multi-disciplinary, safety-critical initiatives, and provide reporting on roadmap health, delivery status, and safety implications clear enough to support both executive decisions and customer-facing discussions.
Translate field signals into prioritized engineering work and tracking issues to resolution.
What you'll bring
7+ years of technical program management experience, including 2+ years leading programs involving safety-critical or high-integrity systems.
Domain experience in robotics, autonomous systems, aerospace, or another physical-world safety-critical domain, with a working understanding of the software, firmware, and hardware stacks behind real-world autonomy.
Working familiarity with a functional safety standard, such as ISO 26262 or IEC 61508, and how it shapes program structure, evidence, and release gates.
Enough working fluency in statistics and probability to interpret validation results and reliability metrics critically, not just track that they exist.
